Ok I been trying to root my phone all day and not having no luck what so ever.. has Us Cellular somehow blocked this? i got android version 2.3.6


the US Cellular Ascend 2 can be rooted with SDK and Super One Click. just download both programs, open SDK and let it it run in the background, open Super One Click, plug your phone in and hit root... it's that easy.

i just put Playful God's cm7 port on mine this past weekend. had to download GoSMS Pro to be able to receive MMS messages, and the play store thinks my phone is a Cricket phone. but, data, voice, and text work perfectly.

it's kinda strange though, you have to do a complete wipe before installing cm7 so you loose everything. well, i backed up my contacts usin the my contacts backup app from US Cellular, when i tried to download the app from the market using my phone, it said that it wasn't available for my carrier (remember, the market thinks mine is a cricket A2) but when i sent it to my phone via website from my home PC, it downloaded and worked great...

on a side not, mine is 2.3.5...
